The sure fire way to "control" video highlights on the web would be for the EPL to put free video highlights on their own site. They could make money from advertisements on the site so it would be win-win for them.
Do you really think a bunch of folks will take the time to digitize highlights if they could simply link their friends to the EPL site to watch a goal clip they wanted to share?
I've posted dozens of soccer highlights on the web over the last couple of years, but I have never digitized an MLS match highlight and posted it...why?...because MLSNet provides their fans with free highlights packages on their own site.
Most internet users are lazy. It the highlights were up on the EPL's site, they wouldn't have to pay some other company to act as their net cop.
You can't stop content from being posted on the web, but if proactively post it yourself, you can have some modicum of control over how it is presented.

Hi,
I think I am right in saying that as of next season the BBC will be showing Match of the Day over their internet service, which at last a step in the right direction.
